Thompson’s Teddy Bear Toss Goal and the Mid-season Lull

Listen to “Thompson's Teddy Bear Toss Goal and the Mid-season Lull” on Spreaker.

Taylor Thompson joins the show after his Teddy Bear Toss goal! We’ll ask him about his quick stint in Europe earlier this season and what it was like to re-join the Solar Bears locker room after the tough start to the season.

Eugene Helfrick from TheHockeyWriters.com jumps on the line as we continue to try and dissect the Tampa Bay Lightning and their inconsistent season thus far. Is it all part of the plan? Are they waiting to flip the switch and get hot?

Bryan has a concern. He’s feeling the mid-season lull. Is that a normal thing? Luckily, Eric was part of pro-hockey locker rooms…and he shares some surprising information about the lull in the locker room.

Figuring out the Solar Bears, and where are the Old Time Hockey Fighters?

Listen to “Figuring out the Solar Bears, and where are the Old Time Hockey Fighters?” on Spreaker.

The Solar Bears broke a 4 game loss streak with an OT win Monday Night at Amway…but will that be enough to turn fortunes for the club? We’ll take a look at some of the strengths and weaknesses so far this season, and what the addition of Blake Kessel does for the leadership of the team.

Are we being patient enough with the Lightning? Are they saving their best efforts for the latter part of the season? If they’re not, what ARE they doing? As the Atlantic Division separates around them, the Bolts find themselves outside of a Wild Card spot and in need of points.

With the extra time, we have a discussion about Fighting in Hockey…and the personalities of the tough guy role in the modern game, vs. “the old days”. There are 3 traits we come up with that defines the traditional enforcer…and realize the new generation of “tough guys” may not have any of them.

The Solar Bears have had some troubles as of late, dropping their last 3 games to the same opponent, the Florida Everblades, which they round out the series of games with on Thursday Night. What is the first step for the Solar Bears? Should we be worried? Is talent enough to win hockey games?

The Tampa Bay Lightning have returned to North America after their trip to Sweden for the NHL Global Series. Eugene Helfrick from thehockeywriters.com joins us to look at the trip, whats next for the Bolts, and whether or not its too soon to think about the trade deadline for this team trying to return to form.

Going into the new season, the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils got all the attention, and now the odd team out in that area, the New York Islanders, have picked up points in their last 13 games, winning 12 of them. Why are the Islanders as good as they are? Is it Barry Trotz? And who’s this John Tavares guy anyways!?

The Nick Takeover. OSB Coach Drake Berehowsky and Bolts Issues, too!

Listen to “The Nick Takeover. OSB Coach Drake Berehowsky and Bolts Issues, too!” on Spreaker.

Before you listen, quite literally, Nick took over the show in the 2nd half. Sure, we had a great conversation with Solar Bears Head Coach Drake Berehowsky about the upcoming season, the leadership of his veterans and the hardest part of his job, but eventually…Nick took over. We’ll share the opening night roster for the Solar Bears, and a friend of the show who missed the cut for the Bears…but eventually…Nick took over.

Bryan is starting to ponder “scenarios” involving the (at the time) 1-1-1 Tampa Bay Lightning and what happens if the team continues down this even-keel trend…but eventually…Nick took over.

Drew Doughty angry at his team. The lackluster start for the New Jersey Devils and San Jose Sharks. The Rage Room at Wells Fargo Center. Fantasy Hockey. All of these topics Bryan planned to talk about…but…

…eventually…Nick took over.
